Ramos reveals: Tottenham job does interest me

Juande Ramos has piled the pressure on Martin Jol by confirming he is tempted by the Spurs job.

Sevilla coach Ramos admitted it would be a "challenge" to work in the Premier League - and dropped a big hint by saying it would not be "unexpected" for him to take over in England.

Jol has reportedly been given six games to save his job at White Hart Lane and both Tottenham vice-chairman Paul Kemsley and secretary John Alexander met with Ramos in Spain last month - but the highly-rated Sevilla boss snubbed them.

Ramos, whose wide face Arsenal in the Champions League tomorrow, told the Daily Mirror: "Today I am the coach of Sevilla and I am only thinking about that. But everything is possible.

"One of my challenges as a coach is to work in a foreign country. England would be a magnificent destination but I don't have a concrete date.

"But everyone knows that everything in football is unexpected."

Ramos, 52, is European football's hottest property and tops the Spurs hit-list even though last month's secret meeting was embarrassingly exposed.

Jurgen Klinsmann, Ronald Koeman and Marcello Lippi have also been linked with the job but Ramos remains their priority despite barely speaking English.

He impressed Tottenham last season with their UEFA Cup win over Jol's men.
